Steve wore the same thing every day because that’s what Japanese workers at Sony did at the time.

It was common for Japanese engineers to wear uniforms just like factory workers do. You can look up pictures from Nintendo where they’re wearing jumpsuits designing Mario.



They did, at my company. They finally made it non-compulsory (for men), about fifteen years ago, but many folks kept wearing them, anyway.

The uniforms were kind of special. They wouldn’t let us yanks, buy them.
